😊

Hi everybody!

I am a BIG fan of all the Telarium/Trillium Games, which are all graphical text adventures, but NONE of these games will play in DOSBox... They will play in plain old windows, but the text scrolls way too fast, and You cannot hear the Tandy 3-voice music (which is GREAT!) ... I have been waiting with each and every release for these games to be playable, but no luck so far.

I'm not complaining, I just thought it might be better for Me to mention this problem, than to just hold My breath and be silent, because maybe no-one else out here noticed this...

Thanks!!! ...........Jeremy

Hi. I tested two of them, and they didn't work on Dosbox 0.63, but they did work on the newer CVS (beta) version of dosbox at http://ykhwong.x-y.net (and will probably work fine on other recent CVS builds too). Not sure about the tandy sound - it sounded like PC speaker to me. You could try setting "machine=tandy" and "tandy=on" in dosbox.conf.

PS: According to HOTU, the C64 versions are meant to be better (EGA vs CGA), so might be better playing them that way.

This has been fixed in the CVS, so the next dosbox version should run
all Telarium games.

Maybe you can test the Trillium games as well and report if they're working.

Same company I believe. HOTU just has all the games listed under Trillum/Telarium, though it looks like their first 2 games, and last game use a different engine from the others.
